Free throws sink Lady Rockets

The Shelby County girls' basketball team let a chance to beat No. 4-ranked Butler slip through their hands Monday.

"We had them. If we hit our free throws we have a shot to beat one of the best teams in the state," SCHS head coach Sally Zimmerman said after the game. "I thought we played well enough to win, we just didn't hit our free throws."

The Lady Rockets (18-8)had several chances to make up ground on the Bearettes (24-3), but 10 of 23 shooting from the free throw line led to a 59-51 Butler win.
